FAQs about hotels in Bologna

A Gourmet Delight

World-class cuisine is what Bologna does best. Nowhere in Italy, a country with considerable culinary heritage, is the food considered better than in this medieval gem.

Bolognese sauce of course originated here, but to try the real thing look out for ragú on the menu. Cold meats and cheeses are also exquisite. Make sure you save plenty of time for eating – the Bolognese like to savour their food, so a meal can last for hours.

Many of the best eateries and homemade ice cream shops can be found behind the mile upon mile of porticoed streets, now UNESCO World Heritage listed. The complex of medieval churches and buildings in cobbled Piazza Santo Stefano is a tranquil spot to explore. Climb one of the Two Towers nearby (not the one leaning at a startling angle) for spectacular views over this red-roofed city.

The focal point of Bologna is huge Piazza Maggiore, whose Santo Petronio church has an unimpressive, half-finished façade that doesn’t prepare you for its sheer scale inside. Fanning out from this square are the buildings of Europe’s oldest university, founded in 1088 and home to the city’s best museums.

Bologna accommodation on Booking.com ranges from small B&Bs to luxury hotels, all easily accessible from Bologna Airport just outside the city.

    Bologna is a complex city with a large historic center.

    Bologna is a complex city with a large historic center. We have been there 3 times. We did not enjoy the 1st 2 visits. Simply put, we didn't spend enough time wandering through town. It's best experienced by strolling thorough various neighborhoods. We walked through the Quadrilatero, University, Piazza Maggiore, and San Stefano. We liked Bologna's little Venice. Bologna is filled with restaurants, Trattorias, Osterias, bars and specialty shops. One recommendation: on the weekend, you must absolutely get reservations for the more popular restaurants or you aren't getting in.

    Less well know than Venice, Florence, etc, Bologna is a magical city, the food capital of Italy and with a well preserved historical centre. A frequent visitor to Bologna since 1998, the city never disappoints and I am always eagerly looking forward to next time. Favourite restaurant: Da Silvio (Via San Petronio Vecchio), favourite bar: Le Stanze (aka The Chapel Bar) plus usual suspects, great for breakfast: QC Corner close to Hotel San Donato.

    A lot of museums and historic places worth visiting plus very cheap entrance fees - 6-10 euro. The only disadvantage was that the public transport was on strike on September 22nd and commuting was very difficult.

    Bologna is a gem.

    Bologna is a gem. Lots of character, history and sites to visit. The university brings life to the city and gives a youthful character with buzzing cafes, bars and restaurants. Bologna also has a perfect location for excursions to Modena to the west and Ravenna to the east among other charming places.

    Loved the architecture of buildings throughout the city. Plenty of restaurants to choose from. When the city completes it’s initial light rail project in 2027 getting around will be improved tremendously.

    Bologna is a great city with plenty to see and well located if wanting to travel to nearer towns for the day. We spent 4 nights in the city and saw eveything we wanted to at a very relaxed pace. 3 full days is about the max you'd want to see most of the city. Would definitely recommend the walk to the Sanctuary of the Madonna but perhaps not on a very hot day! - just take it easy as plenty of steps and uphill walking through the 666 arches (unless you cheat and take the roadtrain) - and take some water, perhaps take the train down is best. Lots of great restaurants - some hidden away down side streets - a bit pricey nearer the centre so do try to track down some better value smaller ones rather than those aiming for Joe Tourist. The Piazza is great - try and get there early before the main crowds. Recommend a walk up the clock tower for super views across the city - easy to buy tickets on the day inside (Early Sept) and was not very busy - also includes access to the museum which is interesting to stroll around. Would expect it to be very overcrowded in peak season - 2nd week of Sept was ok and very few children around so easy to see and do all on our agenda.

    Wow amazing stay! Silvia was so friendly and helpful and the apartment was fantastic. I especially loved the plentiful breakfast options, including fruit, which is unusual in Italy! Good location - quiet residential area and it was very easy to walk into the centre of Bologna (about 15 mins) or to the train station (also about 15 mins).

    Fantastic large room with excellent facilities, clean and comfortable. The hotel is only a 10 minute walk to the central train station and very close to the heart of Bologna, lots of lovely cafes nearby. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. It was also lovely to have doors open onto a balcony!

    Rooms were really smart (and comfortable). Great shower. The roof terrace is great. Amazing view of Bologna! Staff couldn’t have been more helpful. The hotel is a stroll away from the historic centre but we liked that as it’s in a peaceful area.
